IIntermissionntermissPSMEion JEF 8FJSE WHEN HARRY MET IP www.cyriak.co.uk Cyriak is a UK cartoonist/illustrator who has a penchant for creating bizarre animations. His technique is clearly inspired by the Terry Gilliam animations that graced Monty Python's Flying Circus, but where Gilliam's creations were paper cutout, these are more of the photochop variety. Some really great stuff here, but if you look at just one check out "Moo." You'll never feel safe passing through Wisconsin again.

DRAW! pencilsatdawn.wordpress.comp WWhile I'm on the cartoonists, it seems appropriate to direct you to the PPencils at Dawn blog. This blog is a duel between two cartoonists. A random wword generator selects a word, they each take a stab at creating a cartoon iinspired by it, then post their creations here for the world. There's no polling iin the traditional sense to pick the winner. People voice their opinions in the ccomments section.
